The roads have had a sort of scramble to

of revenue. This has been going on in all
directions and the scarcer cars have be-

agents to secure rates. Some of the rates

New YORK. April Jacob Sharp will
be the next one of those indicted for COM
plicity in the Broadway steal to be brought
to trial. This has been definitely decided
upon by District Attorney MARITIME and the
preparation of the case for presentation to

Sharp's trial was decided upon because the
district attorney does not wish to run the
risk OF another disagreement in the Cleary

aldermen who have not yet been tried. The
date for Mr.. Sharps trial has not vet been
liked, but it will probably be early in May,
as soon as District Attorney MARITIME can
get a judge before whom he can try the
case. The engagements of the available
Judges are such that trial cannot be
reached during the present month.

Mason City & Fort Dodge.

MASON CITY, Ia, April 1.-Considera-
BILE excitement was caused yesterday on the
report that the heaviest taxpayers intend to
enjoin the county treasurer from further
collection of the S43, 600 tax voted in aid of
the Mason City Il Fort Dodge railroad.
General Manager James Z. Smith said to
reporter tonight that I'VE have no reason
to apprehend any contest. nor is there any
reason to believe in any organized effort to
defeat its payment. The road is complete
and tirst-class in all its appointments. road

of time, and has met with nothing but the
friendliest feelings from the citizens of the
township and city of Mason. The vote was
very full, but very few dissenting The
track is of the best steel rail. The general
offices are located in our city. and there
seems no good reason for this report of
mere gossip. The other roads cannot be
parties to it, and are not known to be agi-
tating it.

says his servant had defOrmed hand and
a scar on her right wrist. She had good
clothing, and was very neat about her cloth

poor clothing, nearly every article having

THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Investigation of some Frivolous
Charges against Collector See.
berger. of Chicago.

WASHINGTON, April Some weeks
ago the Civil Service Reform league of Chi
cage filed with the civil service commission
a formal complaint against Anthony j.
Seeberger, collector of the port of Chicago,
charging him with violation of the civil
service law. The league charges Collector
Seeberger with peremptorily demanding the
resignation of one George A. Webster, an
honoraby discharged Union soldier and
lately clerk of Class in the appraisers
Office in the Chicago custom house. 1t is
stated that the collector, at the time he de-
manded Mr.. Webster'S resignation, said to
him that there were no charges against his
record-that he knew him to be ar efficient
clerk and faithful public servant. but that
he must have his place-that the outside
pressure for the place was overwhelming
and that the Democratic party, having been
out of power twenty-five years. was clearly
entitled to the Office, and for this reason
alone he must insist upon Mr.. Websters
resignation. 1t is further stated that Mr.
Webster rendered his resignation as
required but not, as viewed by the
collector, in a sufficiently respectful
manner-that in his letter of resignation he
omitted to prefix to the collectors name the
title Honorable as customary and proper
and that he was therefore compelled to
write out another letter Of resignation, the
same being dictated by the collector. To
all of these charges and specifications Col
lector Seeberger makes a positive denial,
save as to the one that he requested Mr..
Webster's ignation-that the substance
and spirit of his interviews and communi-
cations with MI. Webster are misstated and
exaggerated. At recent meeting of the
civil service commission it was directed
that the papers in this case be referred to
Commissioners Edgerton ard Lyman. with
instructions to make investigation of the
facts of the complaint filed by the Chicago
Civil Service Reform league on or about
April - next. 1t was also determined at
this meeting to extend the investigation on
inquiry to the Chicago customs district and
to the Chicago postot1ce for the purpose of
ascertaining in what manner the civil serv-
ice act. rules and regulations are enforced

There was a fresh cut near the right wrist.
Eldrldge is confident that Mary Graney was
induced to change her clothing, and was
then brought here and deliberately muir
dered. Nothing about the dead girl TALES
with the description of Mary Graney but
her face. The dead girls hands are not
deformed. 1t is stated here that Louis De-
camp. who lives at Milton near the scene
of the crime. is the man under arrest at
police headquarters in New York.
Advices from Fairport fail to confirm the
statement that the girl murdered at Railway
was Mary Graney, of that place. No FAM
lily of that name is known there and if the
solution of the mystery offered by Mr.. Ell
dredge be correct, the unfortunate girl must
nave taken service with him under an as
sumed name
1t turns out that Mr.. Eldridge. of Brook
lyn. who identified the body at Railway, us
that OF Mary Graney, former servant. was
mistaken. The police found Mary at the

HUNTg3 DOWN.
Gang of Burglars Dispersed and
Captured by Georgia Authorities

Captured by Georgia Anthorities.
ATLANTA, Ga. April 1.-The recent
burglaries which have created such a sensa-
ton throughout the state, turn out to have
been engineered by the notorious fur rob-
bers who first came into notice in Cleve-
land, o.. last January, and who subse-
quently murdered Officer Hulligan. One
of the burglars, Pat Hanley, is in Hall
county jail dangerously wounded, while
another is confined in jail in Worth county,
in the same condition. About March l
six strange men visited Atlant a, where
they were at once ''slladowed'' by the
police. They soon perceived that they were
watched and dsappeared-no one knew
where. A week later a systematic
series of burglares began in two sec
tons, and within three weeks a dozen
different towns were visited and plundered.
The sum total of money secured is thought
to be over $50, 600. The men worked in
two gangs. Finally, in an affray at Har-
mony Grove. Hanley was shot and cap
tured. He has said he would plead guilty
when the case was called. The photograph
OF Hanley has been sent to j. w. Schmit,
superintendent OF police at Cleveland, O.
There is no doubt about his being one of
the men, and that the other three are
Charles Morgan, Billy Harrington and
Mathew Kennedy. Last week the sheriffs
of three counties organized party to hunt
down the other gang Coming upon the
gang at Baconton, they had a battle in
which Sheriff Hurst was severely wounded,
as was one of the burglars. The news is
that the wounded burglar was run down in
Worth county and is now in jail at that
place. There are men here from Ohio con-
versant with the history of the gang who
are positive that they are the fur robbers.
